I have 7K on the odometer. Does Acura have something that says they will replace the tire under warranty? The tire just needs plugged but if I can get a new one inder warranty its worth the try.

Acura does not do anything for tires. Read your warranty booklets.

If the tire is defective the tire manufacturer should warranty it. If it is not defective, but you picked up a nail, which seems possible becaue you said it needs a plug, then you will have to pay to have it repaired. And do not let them plug it. The tire should be removed and a patch put on from the inside. That way it will be stronger and they can inspect the inside of the tire for any damage.

I had a blow out at 400 miles, and Acura told me to get lost.

Just had a recent flat at 650 miles. Went to the local sears who can't seem to find the problem (well they did, in a way, patched two areas but the tire is still leaking air even though I showed them where the hole was that was leaking). Of course, despite my telling them to be careful with the rims, they scratched it. Now I'm pissed. I have to go in to tell them off when the real manager gets in but according to the other manager there, they will sent the rim to some place to get it "repaired". Where do you guys take your flats to be repaired and does the dealership do repairs? The scratch is minor but noticeable and seems to be a ring around the edge of the rim (like the machine that breaks the bead seems to have scratched it.) What sort of compensation should I ask for, besides a new rim (which they won't do)?

If you have a membership at Sams they will plug the tire for free.

Costco used to do it too. Now it's computerized and they know if the tire was not purchased there. Any other suggestions?
